There are only a few places in the world where driving a Jeep dragster/sandrail makes any sense. But the sand dunes of Silver Lake, Mich., is such a place.

The 2,000 acres of the Silver Lake sand dunes are the only dunes east of Utah that allow private vehicles to play in the sand. For off-road fans, it's a must see, especially when vehicles such as Ben Dozeman's Bad Company Jeep are tearing across the granular minerals. Not much about the CJ-5 is original Jeep equipment—a blown 427 small-block propels its occupants to countless rooster-tailed wheelies—but as it roars over the landscape on two wheels, it's unlikely that onlookers are wondering what happened to the missing chrome headlight rings.
